The road seemed wide, but many cars
had shamed the pavement; streaming stars on asphalt
Standing still, waiting their fault,
Conspiring the night into a halt; then something
New, considerable, began to sing
Blaming loud at all who bring away
The peace into that dark deserted way;
I had not choice at all, I played my part
Pretending all sufficed in art
While Truth behind me spoke ‘Go now, start the day
That they cannot ever repay
What’s lost, pleases not display with stars’

let me see you once my love,
for five hours at least, to stand
while time unfolds you to me;
let me see you once my love
yourself make stay
to make us right;
let me see you once my love,
so we may know no day
that will not be our night;
let me see you once my love
draw figures on the sand
so I may forever stay
there in your light
